One thought on “TUXEDO Computers Unveils Their First AMD-Only Linux Laptop”

It looks very promising, and at a very good price as far as I see.
I was a bit disappointed to learn, that it has only 1 ram slot, when all I have read tells me, that the Vega iGPU benefits very much of having a dual channel ram system.
